I have seen these places like restaurants that have the plastic flowers and plants as decoration...I find it so revolting...they dont even look like the real thing...have you seen these too...Is it such a problem to grow plants and take care for them...

At home is it better to have aplant from a sapling or seeds...if both choices are available.

...but never answered. I was told that some folks take the blood from their meat trays and pour said fluid on their roses. It is supposed to make the roses much more prolific. Has anyone tried this? What do you think?

Might I be keeping the birds away from my ripening fruit without injury to the birds, or poison to the fruit? What else do you think I'd be doing?

...what kind of fruit trees would you have? Would you have all one kind, or have a variety?

vegetable to grow in your own garden? Are there some that are easier to plant, and grow, that others?

What are YOU doing? There are 26 species of bumble bee native to the UK, of these 3 have become extinct, and 15 are designated 'in serious decline'. Without them many wild plants and flowers are disappearing from our countryside. The ordinary garden is vital to the survival of the bee.. that most important of nature's little helpers. We can all do our bit to encourage them and help them thrive. Plant Apple, Bluebell, Cherry, Pear, Plum,
Rosemary, Chive, Foxglove, Honeysuckle, Lupin, Poppy, Sage, Thyme, Wisteria, Catmint, cornflower, Hollyhock, Lavender, Mint and
Sunflower... and do your bit for the bees..
